Is it "stupid" funny or "funny" funny?

I did not care for it. There were a few funny spots, but not what I expected. my brother,nephew,and my sister thought it was funny. I like stupid humor but did not like Borat. shawn

Sacha Baron Cohen (as per his name) IS Jewish. His feigned antisemitism is used in his work to attempt to unveil the latent prejudices existing in our society. In that sense, they (and most of his "jokes") are a critique of our culture, and should not be taken at face value.Originally Posted by djkymar
It's definitely not "stupid funny", although I could see it appealing to that audience, as well. SBC's work is all a satire of society, and makes a statement (albeit a shallow one, but still). Therefore, it's intelligent comedy.
In the case of Borat, it's not only intelligent, but SHOCKING. Half the time, I was laughing out of embarrassment, because I just couldn't believe some of the things he was doing.
He has brass balls, that one.

he's trying to copy the Andy Kaufmann routine.
Not very original!

I saw it last night, and it just goes to show you the diversity of views in America.
Yeah, I dont agree with a lot of the views- the racist, anti-semite, and mysogynistic ones are really really bad. But it shows you that not everyone agrees about equal rights for all minority groups in America.
It was kind of scary in that respect. There were some people who handled Borat's social fumbles very well (like the lady at the dinner party who tried to show him how to use a toilet), and some who were just idiotic (like the frat boys).
The point I got out of it was that there are a lot of differing opinions in the US (I didnt agree with a lot of the ones from middle america, but that is just my opinion and they have just as much right to a viewpoint as I do).
I live in Los Angeles, am liberal, and I needed a reminder that the rest of the country is not like here- both the good and the bad.
